UniteTrade Review and Recent News

Hello good friends! First off, I would like to thank all of you for coming back to read my blog every day and for e-mailing me to keep me updated on other HYIP happenings etc. I'm glad to see that many of you are doing well with your HYIP investments. I do like to hear how you all are doing especially with your investments.

Today is July 27 and already the summer is flying by faster and faster it seems. It looks as if the HYIP market is becoming more stable everyday and I am hoping by the time September 1 gets here that things will really be going strong. I think that we will see some more quality programs coming in the next 30 days, which would be great especially if you're thinking about adding more to your portfolio as the industry gets stronger. For some reason, the market tends to soften in the summertime and tends to boom in the fall, starting with September. That doesn't mean that this will happen this September but I am thinking that it is a good indicator and that many administrators are/have been holding off and marking their calendars for a August/September launch date. It’s been a trend that people have noticed and followed in the past several years. It should be interesting to see what happens anyway.

I would like to introduce a new short term program to you today called UniteTrade. It has been out for about 3 months now but the admin has just decided to start promoting it heavily now. Before this, there hadn't been much promotion, at least up until now. For the last couple of weeks they have raised their advertising efforts in order to accelerate the program and get it out in front of the investors. I've checked other monitors and they have all reported prompt payments.

UniteTrade is a pretty run-of-the-mill and ordinary website and uses the same old text that is commonly used on a lot of short term HYIP's. As a matter of fact, the text runs off the website a bit and makes it hard to read in a few spots I've noticed. But as we all know, there is really no business that this program uses your funds to make money with and the best thing to do is treat it just like that.

The plans are simple and there are just 2 of them. The first plan runs for 7 days and pays 120% upon expiry. The minimum to join this plan is $5 and the maximum is $5000. With such a low entry amount, you can play without losing a big amount. This amount does include your principal, so if you invested $100, you would receive $120 after the 7 days is over.

The 2nd plan in UniteTrade runs for 15 days and pays 150% which is also up on expiry. The minimum to join is quite a bit larger at $100, so that is something to think about. The maximum is $60,000 but I wouldn't think that anybody would consider anything that large. Payment on this one is upon expiry as well. If you are thinking of investing, you could always join the 7 day plan and renew another time for a total of 140% without having to plunk down $100 or more. That way you could join with a lower amount in case you didn't want to risk $100 or higher to get in this plan. If you do decide to invest in this plan, a $100 investment would net you $150 at the end of the 15 day period.

Payouts need to be requested, so they are considered manual and after you request them, the admin asks 12 hours to get them completed which is not out of the normal and pretty quick compared to some other sites. I think it's always good to give the admin 24 hours before sending in a ticket or notifying anybody else as sometimes things come up or the membership grows really fast and bogs down the payout process. If that issue ever comes up with any HYIP program and you can’t get anywhere with the support department, feel free to e-mail me and I will see what I can do to help you get your payout.

It has a good selection of payment processors which may help bring more investors on board as they have recently gotten approval from AlertPay. In order to get approval from AlertPay, the admin must fax or send in documents proving their identity and business/corporate status, which gives them what AlertPay calls Verified status. I like the fact that they have to go through such a thorough process as it shows the commitment of the admin. You can choose from Liberty Reserve, PerfectMoney, SolidTrustPay, StrictPay or AlertPay. It's a pretty good group of processors there and it should contain one that most everybody can be happy with.

As far as security goes, UniteTrade is hosted on a dedicated Staminus server and DDoS protection is provided by DdoSWiz. There doesn't appear to be any SSL encryption but should you have any questions about that, there is a support form that can be filled out and the admin will reply back by e-mail.

This isn’t overly impressive short term HYIP and there was not a lot of work done to the website to get it off the ground. If you ask me, it's kind of sloppy work even for a HYI program. However, UniteTrade does have a low entry to get in and the plans aren't unreasonable so there is no reason why it couldn't last several cycles as long as the admin keeps promoting it the way it should be. I wouldn't play this one too high, but I wouldn't see why it should keep anybody from playing a reasonable amount and having some fun with this game before it's over.

I'll be back again soon with another review. Have a good one.

Recent News-

I have received 2 e-mails in the last couple of days from FinalEarn regarding some technical issues with Liberty Reserve and Perfect Money. The 2nd one has to do with their new referral contest that has a $300 first prize and a possible $500 special prize. I thought I would put it in here in case anybody was interested in vying for those prizes. If you won some, it would just be some more money that you could use to invest with to get your investment portfolio a bit broader and hopefully snowball your take home.

Hello everyone,

Yesterday we had some problems with Liberty Reserve API And SCI and because of that all withdrawal requests were processed using the Wallet for LR requests that caused a bit of delay.

Also, Liberty Reserve deposits and some deposits for Perfect Money were not automatically credited by our script.
We manually added all of these missing deposits in their respective users' accounts so all is in order now. It took much of our time but we did not mind at all because it's our pleasure to serve you.

Now all SCI and API for LR and PM are operational again and Final Earn is on normal mode like before but there is something that has changed….FinalEarn is stronger than before!!! We now have more than 2,300 users and still growing. There might be too many users who are promoting their referral links for win in referral contest. our Alexa ranking proves it with a rating around 70k as of this writing.

Regarding the ongoing referral contest, we have noticed that some users are creating fake referrals under their username to win in this contest . Let me make a warning to all these users. We will delete them and will freeze their funds if you still continue doing that. We are working honestly on the backstage so don't try to cheat us .

This will all for now and keep promoting Final Earn.

I received a lengthy newsletter (below) from BullInvest, so I condensed it and put the important points in.

This is an official communication of BullInvest, The Bull Investment Firm LTD.

Dear members and prospective members,

Additions have been made to The Bull Investment Firm website which will make the user experience for all concerned more enjoyable and we hope more profitable.

- Available Balance Reinvestment

It has been brought to our attention over the last week that reinvesting from available balances was not available unless the member in question had an active investment with us. To put it another way – once an investment matured and the principal was returned to your available balance at that point there was no option to reinvest.

Due to the demand for this feature we have had our programming dept. add this as an option in your members area. Simply click on the new investment tab and you will now be asked whether you are making a “New E-currency Investment” or an “Available Balance Investment”. From there you may choose your correct E-currency and invest.

- Corporate Certificate

We have decided to add our corporate document to the home page of The Bull Investment Firm LTD website. You may now view our Certificate of Incorporation on our home page as part of your due diligence efforts.

- Live Support

As promised we have added a Live Chat feature to our support page. We have decided to not commit ourselves to set hours. Live support will be available when either Deborah or a member of her staff is available.
All staff members of The Bull Investment Firm LTD are happy to participate in Live Support upon request though. Simply submit a support request outlining the specific time and date that you wish to have live support. Please also specify which staff member you wish to speak to and we will do our best to accommodate you to the best of our ability.
